Question

How do I view the SQL generated by entity framework ?

(In my particular case I\'m using the mysql provider - if it matters)

Answer 1

You can do the following in EF 4.1:

var result = from x in appEntities
             where x.id = 32
             select x;

System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(result .ToString());

That will give you the SQL that was generated.
